Site Host

This week I looked into different site hosts and builders, and I think I have a good idea of what I want to use for my site. For my purposes and circumstances, I have decided that Bluehost will be the best host site and WordPress will be the best site builder. I know that WordPress will require a lot more time to learn, but I think I will be able to build a much cleaner, better website when I can figure it out. Luckily, Bluehost also has a tool included in the plan I have decided to purchase that simplifies WordPress' building process. It is slightly more expensive that other sites, but I think that it will be an investment that will yield great returns, both financially and personally. If I can learn to effectively use WordPress, I will be more capable of building sites later, which skill will be of great worth to me throughout my life. The $60 for an annual subscription, in my opinion is well worth it. I am also working to definitively choose the best specific product and supplier for my needs. I hope to have these decisions solidified within the next couple of weeks. I am excited to get everything up and running!

Ad Optimization and ROI

This week I learned a lot about how to optimize my keywords and ads in order to maximize the money I am paying for advertising now that I've started my campaign. I made a couple of changes based on the data I've received so far from Google about my ad performance. One of them was I removed the keywords "Grand Teton National Park" and "Yellowstone National Park" from my ads because they were limited by something in their performance. I still don't totally understand why that happened, but I made the change to get more clicks for my money. I'm not planning to generate a lot of revenue right now, but I hope to gain a following on my website in order to monetize my site later with advertisements. At that point, my ROI will increase and my investments will have been worth it. It may take a while, but once I start earning money, I will be able to run more serious ads with a larger budget, and my web business will be well on its way to a good profit!

Ads

This week I learned about Google Ads and their value to businesses. With a decent budget and proper planning, ads can drive large amounts of traffic to websites and social media pages, allowing for large amounts of growth sales for the companies that use them. I have learn from the articles and sites that I have used to research this week that ads should be carefully refined to be as well-made as possible before they are published. Descriptions and headlines need to be concise, clean, and helpful. If I create an ad, I need to make sure both of these aspects are refined and reviewed using keywords to make sure I have chosen the best words and phrases to drive as much traffic to my site as possible. The other important thing to keep in mind is that all of the budget information needs to be reviewed and double checked before publishing the campaign. Monetary mistakes can cause losses of hundreds or thousands of dollars, so I need to make sure I am not making any mistakes in that realm sin...

Google Ads and Keywords

This week, I learned a lot more about how to use Google Ads and Keywords. I also learned that it is important to pay attention to the details of the instructions because I accidentally created an express account at first, so I had to contact Google support to figure out how to have access to all of the tools available in the regular account. Regarding keywords, I learned how important it is to have the best keywords possible. If keywords are all too specific, too general, or simply not relevant enough, we are going to waste money on nothing. We won't get clicks, we won't get sales, and nothing good will really come from learning to use Google Ads. However, if we use good Keywords and target our ad campaigns effectively, we can really grow our businesses and get better and better each day as we continue to learn and improve our skills.
